Been researching options for replacing my transmission. In reading old posts, it seems mine may have been trouble prone, so I want to avoid putting the same one in. Mine's a '93 525 5 speed, 2nd went out (from what I've read, this is trademark...)

Please advise- what year/model transmissions fit my car? 3 series an option? Not sure if I'll go reman or used- I have no choice but to try and keep costs as low as possible. Again, I don't want to get the same trans, used, and have the same thing happen in say a few thousand miles.

Thanks all...just need some guidance/education to aid in strategy/shopping.
